Kairostasis 0 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Lately, I have been getting a "A threat TrojanDownloader.Agent.THG was found when Google Chrome tried to access --" message. [I have attached a screenshot]. So, this happens with quite a few sites, but when I actually browse them they seem innocuous. So, I was wondering what exactly is the TrojanDownloader.Agent.THG? Eset's database does not have enough information about it: https://www.virusradar.com/en/JS_TrojanDownloader.Agent.THG/description An example of a site which fires the message: hxxp://www.peachpit.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,693 Posted August 18, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 18, 2019 It's a javascript code that downloads payload from another website. An administrator has probably already cleaned the website from malware; at least I'm unable to reproduce the detection. Or I don't match conditions (e.g. country) for the malware to be injected into viewed web pages. Kairostasis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairostasis 0 Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 Yes, it seems to be dependent on the country. Eset blocks the threat only when I access the website from my original IP. So, is it safe to access such websites as long as Eset blocks the threat or would I risk infecting my PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,693 Posted August 18, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 18, 2019 You'd better avoid visiting such website. You never know if the malware will update and will be undetected then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
